Tour 2003 - Things are looking up (note to Stuart)

Late February, 2003 

Dear Stuart,            

As you know, I seldom drink wine while travelling in the tropics.  It just doesn't have much appeal when it's hot and muggy.  Besides, the service can be a bit dodgy at the street side food stalls I frequent.  But today while browsing some stalls at a nearby plaza here in Bangkok, I had a chance to taste a Thai produced wine.  From the handout given me, the wine is made from 'Black Finger-root', a rhizome, which I believe makes it a relative of ginger. 

Anyway, the lady offering samples pressed a small plastic cup on me to try it.  She in turn placed her hand on my heart, stomach, bum and legs, telling me it was excellent for renewing all those areas.  Then, with a furtive glance at my nether region, she whispered "good for sex, make boom boom".  "Good for boom boom.  Boom boom all night", she repeated several times, always in a whisper.  I take it this is still a closely guarded secret.  And it apparently works equally well for men or women.  This stuff sounds unbeatable. 

The wine itself is a pale red, bright, and on the nose...  Oh hell, let's just say it's a hard wine.  I don't have to be hit on the head to recognize a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.  I think this is just the wine the Commanderie needs to raise it to new levels.  We'll be up for anything.  And for women, even if they are split over this, I am sure they will be thrilled with it, nothing will be too hard for them.  And to hell with a certain pharmaceutical company called Pfizer who shall remain nameless!

Knowing you would approve, I have ordered a pallet of 64 cases of this fabulous wine (it's called Golden Krachaidam by the way) for our group.  This is just the beginning of course; I have pretty much sewn up rights to this elixir on our behalf.  We're on our way up, Boy!  Best regards. 

Boom boom, toujours Boom boom. 


Merv.
